Open Post: La savate et le chausson

[futaille]

Much to his satisfaction, Grantaire has been able to keep up with many of his hobbies unabated during his time at the mansion. Not all of them, though, mostly because they were ones he'd go to specific spots for, and with those spots not being here in addition to an abundance of his other hobbies, they more or less fell by the wayside.

However, a recent chat with Dionysus has reminded him that he has very much neglected his 'hitting things' level. Although he didn't find a crash test dummy, the thought being on his mind ended up in him stumbling upon a small gym tucked away, complete with some equipment including a standing punching bag.

So he's discarded his waistcoat and cravat over a bench and is practicing his savate¹.

¹French kickboxing! During R's time it was basically for streetfighting, and just beginning to get formalized, but there are some cool vintage videos on youtube (Here and here) to give the... vibe.

"What's the point in living if you're not taking advantage of it?" he says, fully agreeing.

[futaille]

"Very little, clearly."

[vineleaves]

There's a lot of thoughts running through his head right now, but he settles on just sitting and watching Grantaire for a while. It's a nice view.

[futaille]

He keeps going for a while before stopping for a water break. "Is it that entertaining?"

[vineleaves]

"It's not my fault you have such a nice butt, I don't know what you expect from me."

[futaille]

He laughs and peers down over his shoulder as best he can. "Do I?"

[vineleaves]

"Yes."

[futaille]

"Why thank you!"

[vineleaves]

"Did you honestly not know I like your butt? I have been shirking my duties then."

[futaille]

"You hardly neglect it, don't worry."

[vineleaves]

"Well that's a relief. I wouldn't dream of neglecting it."

[futaille]

"I just assumed you were biased, though."

[vineleaves]

"Oh, I am incredibly biased, but it doesn't change the fact that your butt is nice."

[futaille]

"In that case, I'm very glad you get to enjoy it."

[vineleaves]

"As am I, I promise you."

[futaille]

"Well, maybe I should return to what I was doing so you can watch more."

[vineleaves]

"I am here to supervise," he laughs.

[futaille]

"Supervise to your heart's content!" He returns to fighting the bag.

[vineleaves]

"Will do!"

After a few minutes he makes himself a little snackie of some grapes to munch on. As one does.

[futaille]

He goes at it for a good while under Dionysus's able supervision before he steps back and goes to flop on one of the benches.

[vineleaves]

"Need a snackie?" he asks, holding up the bunch of grapes.

[futaille]

He laughs a little as he looks over at Dionysus. "A snackie?"

[vineleaves]

"Yeah. Thought maybe all that made you hungry."

[futaille]

"Yes, I'll have a snack."

[vineleaves]

He moves to go sit next to Grantaire on the bench and takes one grape, holding it up to Grantaire's mouth.
